UT, I'm fascinated by that too...

I made a business trip to Crakow, Poland years ago and had one of
those special moments when you realize you're standing in a very
historical place.

It still makes me appreciate how smart some people were back in earlier times,
and for others, how easy it would have been to attribute magical powers to lights in the sky.

And things are different now?

Yes, I think things are very different.
Can you imagine, for example, what it took for Copernicus
to go against "common sense", the teachings of the elders,
and power of the church, at the time.

Or Semmelweis, Snow, and Koch coming up with the germ theory of disease.

Maybe mathematics has remained the same in terms of thinking and innovation,
but the scientific method has changed the world, and our bases for "common sense".
Now, even the moderately intelligent can find ways to help explain the physical world.

Plus, the pill radically changed the influence of religion. ;)

What would he sing?

Rock my soul in the cervix of Abraham?

He's got the whole world in his uterus?

Plenty of options here, just ... not this one, please.

If you type "L" then you will like it. And then others will see that you like it and they will wonder what hitting "L" does and they will like it too. And so on.

It's stupid and virus like, but amusing that I fell for it.

hardly suitable for a "contemporary Christian rock singer/songwriter"

If I had a hammer.....

I just had mormons at my door. A couple of nice looking young men, in suits, represented themselves well, articulate, polite.

I was polite too. I thanked them for stopping, but no thanks right now. I asked for a pamphlet or something and they gave me a card with mormon website address.

"Can we stop by another time?"

"No, I don't think so, but I'll keep this in mind. Thank you." big smile

Curtains down.

Thank you.

;)

infinite monkey 03-18-2012 06:58 PM

p.s.

Should I have offered them a beer? :confused:

:lol:

ZenGum 03-18-2012 07:46 PM

Yes. And a blowjob.

Lamplighter 03-18-2012 07:47 PM

Did you offer to introduce them to your husbands

infinite monkey 03-18-2012 08:20 PM

I thought about bringing up the dead hobos out back, but they were awfully skittish.

"CAN YOU SAVE THEM, HUH? PUT THEM ON THAT THERE POST-DEAD LIST!"
